Ranking the contenders for the Bayern Munich job

As recipients of the last five Bundesliga titles and regular mainstays in the latter stages of the Champions League, Bayern Munich are rather used to success.

Former Bayern star Willy Sagnol is acting as interim manager right now, but the Bavarian outfit are in need of a new permanent manager. Here, FC Yahoo run through the top five candidates for the role.
